Ere many more moons have waXed

The name of this adroit and able
and skilltul politician is mentioned in
connection with the chairmanship of
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, and we are glad to see it, for
We believe there is not man in the
whole State more admirably fitted for
such leadership than the cool headed,
we'll poised, thoroughly posted and
consummate tactician-the able and
eloquent and justly popular Harry
Skinner, Of Pitt = WiLson Mirror.
DR.. Eugene Grissom, of Raleigh,
has contributed a paper to the Ameri-
can journal Of I3asanit, entitled-"Is
there any connection between Deaf
mutism and Insanity" 1t is a review
of the notorious and shocking Walter
Bingham case, and seems to be plea
in his behalf IF he is ever caught it
will be hard to satisfy the public that
he does not richly deserve to be hang
ed. The article Of DR.. Grissom is
marked by the usual ability that at

Post. Why not send him? As we
understand it, Mr.. Powderly has new
er voted any other than the Demo
cratic ticket, breaches against the
heresY of a Tariff for Protection, and
is sincerely desirous of bettering the
condition of the workingman. In ad-
dition, he opposes strikes and waste Of
property, and is man Of ability and
character. Why not send him? If
be lived in North Carolina the Ctron-
icLe would advocate his nomination
and give him its heartiest support

To show with how high hand Mr..
Solomon Ha.s, the traffic manager of
the Richmond & Danville Railroad,
Of the Southern railway and Steam
ship Association, of the Associated
Railways of Virginia and the Carroll
mas, &c &c, carries on his business
we cite two instances He has recent
ly jumped the freight rate from States
vile to Union, S. c., from So to 81
from Statesville to Gadsden, Ala: from
81 to Ill. To other points he has
likewise advanced the rate, but these
are the most fragrant cases. The only
known reason for these advances is
that it pleased the sweet will of Mr.
Solomon Haas to make them, and il
he were asked for an explanation his
reply, if he deigned to make one,
would probably be: 81 control more
money, sir, than you or your commit
tee or your whole town is worth" 1t

excuses he may be led.-StotesUiHt

1t is now stated that the vulgar aud
rowdy assault upon the wife of the
President, made by Minneapolis
newspaper, was the "indiscretion of {
very young man" and some humor is
sought to be extracted from the cir
cumstance that his father is distin
guished Mugwump of Boston. No
levity, however comic, would seem to
fit the case. But two things are to b'
said in fairness for the youthful perpe-
traitor of the offense; the one is thai
incipient genius afioat in newspapers
is likely to be bumptious and unre
fiecting, and to mistake dirt for inde
pendence, and the other is that the
Eastern young man is educated t.
loose notions about women, which
would be pronounced scandaious else
where. In the South, for example
such notions could have no existence
